The Coriolis effect is responsible for the spin of a cyclone. The severity of the spin increases with latitude. As spin increases, the spiral elongates. The force is consistent as gravity but does not exist at the equator.

My theory is that the Coriolis effect is the universal life force. The shape of organic matter is governed by the Coriolis effect.
A cyclone needs cold (dense) and hot (less dense) air masses to exist. Similarly, the only requirement for an organism to be influenced by the Coriolis effect is a dense component and a loose (less dense) component. An example is bone and flesh.
The greater the difference of the densities, the stronger the Coriolis effect influence. There is no visible influence in organisms with uniform density, such as algae and moss. These have non-uniform density at the molecular level; thus, there is influence at that level.
As a cyclone has a tube below its spiral, so does much of nature. An example is a tree trunk.
The spiral of a cyclone has a tail that spins freely in circles during its existence:
In nature, a freely spinning tail results in a circular object with no visible spiral:

Nature conforms to the shape formed by the Coriolis effect at its latitude of residence:

The roundest point is near 20°. The spiral elongates as the spin (latitude) decreases or increases from this point.
Every spiral below 20° has a complement above 20° that only differs slightly at the eye. An example is 5° and 55°.
To stop the tail from spinning freely in circles is the anchor. The anchor does not exactly pin down the tail, however. It grows with the loose component. The spiral shape is visible in nature if the dense component anchors the loose component.
The anchor can surround the spiral. An example is a skull or exoskeleton.
Or it can connect the eye to the tail. An example is a spine or endoskeleton.
It has variable density, shape, and size:

Most leaves have a complete anchor.
Many fruits, such as stone fruits, have an incomplete anchor:

Unlike cyclones, nature has symmetry: a clockwise and a counterclockwise spiral shape. Spin direction is probably unimportant because of symmetry.
Truncating and mirroring occurs at the anchor:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtKh3oeIUPcVXfAq5GIKkChYEjt6KGs9f8NMlCavn2L1nVTpnUK-00ZpAZC_kSKdCqK9sg6ux2pUgJ2q569fDKjeDbdhmFK8rRZ2gmnfJmLErJQ7-VhWikp-4viHfSnDkGmwvk_rWg6NyO/s400/mirror.gif)
Nature only conforms up to a certain length from the tail:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK1aXZUBLG8-gOLNh96ABYs8MCoSvvd7iOVG-l1g-8q00qpmmmPInKcnGK00J7jDi8Ptbvewbm-necGnMVrHX0guIDdiOzJmsvjx95mM-2DduB7kRatozLra3XWWmj1PB4TmZy3WM_Qdk/s400/tail+length.gif)
A short length from the tail results in a pointed ellipse:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_C3UExC3JsXTip-6-G85ikQOVzgn27LsmsTKZHLSth-mOOhBMJKM3ZL7TBufXuTiBeeaOe7hgH-o26CHHv0Do4eLAfdOwTQilzgwxBc0duLOEBgEWwP2B_YSQorPpD5_dAowc2EgtuE2v/s400/ellipse.jpg)
A long length from the tail results in an egg or heart shape:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFXK4PWdwdo_x6bJbr8sGAQ_-FbQALwY4ZMvm_53aLD-gvCXWhIlfMSS0PpiwnSs6KAodmbp2oIEK0D0UzmQe6ztb8w4BE75yYrnjENDH_sTeqTectKa9t2OpVAr0C29iN86UE_ZuEb5Xa/s400/heart.jpg)
As the angle of the tube increases from the horizontal, so does the longest possible length from the tail.
If the tube is horizontal, the tube is the anchor and the object must be an elliptic shape:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEtdhGhWQyiuN9f3jVm9WYHj7psV3Lipcg0iRWCLo5Ak7pFYsLupO6vqT2qPbyE0cEu5u-tb3fh_64jwu43IvTvX8i_7z2_41uStxKzhmgIFz0I41Ik276CAEg-JMKkcRnpjf9N6toctZy/s400/fish.jpg)
The spines of birds and mammals are between horizontal and vertical.
If the tube is vertical, the object can be any of the shapes (ellipse, egg, or heart):
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUs-6bLcmPvKroeJw8vtbnwxfeiYYVIh5QLLkU4ichtzpnXup8SrLyJvCv-s_Q8QM-j0zsXSk9EwvXVgAGBaCH5rczPazBJuNamp5PmasExdmUvoxRE_K-NHIy5jhfvH9LEF6sA-rdv4qS/s400/flower.jpg)
If the object is a heart shape, it must have a vertical tube.
Conformation to the Coriolis effect at non-native latitude can occur in a lifetime.
After latitudinal migration, growth is transferred from the area that is no longer encompassed by the spiral to the new area:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXd16DD7t3d_FpZlFeFKC3PUAbYWke8sqmtKiZIoBb2k2vNH1HfHl2pcshy-Scav0fG8kWFmKSbwEqdoT2d8gPlpThSJ5YNtfkV91veMNWpKmevq2ON5Zl4e8vO5pGQY5at2tqiEfjD4C/s400/migration.jpg)
An organism migrating closer to the roundest point (near 20°) conforms to a rounder spiral shape.
An organism migrating farther from the roundest point conforms to a longer spiral shape.
Similarly, if an elliptic organism migrates, it contracts or elongates along the anchor's axis:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEds70klVvjSb8bdl0G23vMeY0hWcauhSiv1qRnuuU-D9LLsZA1-tl-a4wBktYQsLjB3xECTEDneqFlGZ7aeN42j6SemzC43jTPzI9D96XAp3Xh_YME63IueoyKFUcGivesxtJDHGn9wb-/s400/pig.jpg)
At undesired latitude, however, nature is likely to incompletely conform or resist. Incomplete conformation appears as curled edges or ruffles to match the spiral shape. For example, this calla lily has a curled tail at 20 N:

When observing the Coriolis effect on a plant, it is best to look at the leaf. The primary vein is the anchor. The stems and branches are examples of tubes. If there is no stem, the compound leaf displays. If the leaf is lobed, the individual lobe displays.
Reproductive structures such as fruits, flowers, and Conifer cones are also governed. However, most fruits do not have complete anchors. Also, most flower petals are elliptic, therefore only elongation is predictable.
It is very common that only one part of a plant has a conclusive (heart or egg) shape and the other parts are elliptic.
A human is influenced in many ways because it exists on multiple planes.
When lying down, the spine and limb bones are horizontal tubes. Thus, the body elongates during sleep. The influence is strongest when the density difference of the bone and flesh is greatest. This is why muscle hinders height. The body proportion is according to the latitude of residence. This is why Northern Europeans are tallest.
The optic nerves are often vertical while asleep. The Coriolis effect influences eye shape and may cause REM.
The ear canals can also be vertical while asleep. The ears also conform, such as this ear from living at 2 S:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfGFs08iGDSKdf0TlHby2iFMg8wjiA4_SU8EbkLE2NxvvLbtDb8dShJrCAcLlUebAUP8NmaSrrNgzi5IpwGrfp7oawckNXmYOlsZQaWksckIlbHZBx8vls2o9aFobSVtqJvY9eF7vJgh0N/s400/ecuador+ear.jpg)
The shape of the face is affected with the skull as the anchor.
When standing, the spine is the vertical tube, the skull is the anchor, and the brain conforms. The brain exhibits the spiral shape on three planes:

For example, a human native to 20 N residing at 40 N instead of 20 N experiences the following:
Puberty is earlier. Metabolism is higher. The body grows taller and less wide. The face conforms to a longer spiral shape with acne resisting the change. The eyes elongate, resulting in myopia. The ears conform to the longer spiral, resulting in a hanging earlobe. The mouth is not as wide as expected, causing teeth to drift inward and wisdom teeth to face inward. The brain conforms, resulting in a cramped frontal lobe. This means high levels of IQ, memory, and cross-activation. Cancer is an organ conforming to the Coriolis effect. All this unexpected growth is stopped by returning to native latitude.
In response to counterarguments:
This is a general theory for all of nature; alternative explanations are limited to a certain field.
The Coriolis effect is weak but it is the dominant force near equilibrium.
The predictable spiral is obscured by unnaturalities such as cosmetics.
